[Opinions] Re: Eglantine, Ghislaine and Segolene
in reply to a message by Bear
Ségolène has been going through my head, too, since Mme Royal was elected president of France. I think it's a beautiful name and I'm greatly interested in the etymology of it.Ghislaine is pretty in an underused kind of way. This name would definitely stand out in a crowd.Eglantine is a name I just can't warm up to. I think it's because as a child, I loved the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Angela Lansbury's character was named Eglantine (which has me stumped since I fangirl her. :/) David Tomlinson even sang a song in the movie called 'Eglantine' and I must say it was quite snappy.As for combos, Mme Royal is Marie-Ségolène, but I also like:Ségolène Juliette
Ségolène Ramona
Ségolène Marguerite
Ségolène Ophélie
Ségolène Christiane
Ségolène Henriette
Ségolène Mathilde

Marie-Segolene is beyond chic. I don't even have a category for it. Segolene Mathilde is wonderful, as are the other suggestions for little Seggie. [I heard that groan. Nns Seggie and Eggie (for Eglantine) should get me a child services referral, non? Nn Goosie (for Ghislaine) would really round out the pitiful trio nicely.]I especially love:
Ghislaine Bernadette
Ghislaine Yael
Ghislaine Laure
Eglantine Yolande
Eglantine Letizia / Letitia
Eglantine HarrietThank you! Merci! Spacibo bol'shoye!
